Benefits Of Steel

Benefits Of Cold Formed Steel Framing

Non-combustible - does not burn nor contribute fuel to the spread of a fire

Inorganic - will not rot, warp, split, crack, creep or be affected by wood eating insects

Dimensional stability - does not expand or contract with moisture content

Consistent material quality - produced in strict accordance with national standards, no regional variations

Reduced labor costs during time of installation

No cutting or specialized tools required making it a safer solution during installation on the job site

Less than 1% waste from production through installation making it more sustainable than conventional light gauge framing

Wood framing has long been the standard for residential building and many commercial structures. Unfortunately, these wood built structures offer many challenges that should be taken in to consideration before you build. Here are some of the reasons why building with light gauge steel can help you avoid those challenges...

Termite and Mold Resistant

100% InorganicUnaffected by termites or other wood boring insects and verminEliminates Potential for Structural DamageDoes Not Contribute to Growth of Mold

Non-Combustible

Steel framed structures are fire resistant. Studs, joists, and rafters do not add fuel to a fireOne third of all fires start in the wall cavitySteel framed structures do not "melt" in a fireFraming members can resist up to 1,800 degrees F.

Green Building Material

100% RecyclableLess than 1% waste during production and installationNo Off Gassing or ToxicityEnvironmentally Friendly

Consistently Higher Material Quality

Will Not Rot, Crack, Split, Warp or DecayUnlike wood, quality of steel remains the sameDoes not expand or contract with moisture content
